Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nuriko knew how Tasuki felt, honestly he didnt feel much better. Kind of like a mouse being lead into a trap, baited with cheese. After a moment of hesitation he reluctantly followed, making sure Miaka didnt get distracted or mouthy or anything else she may feel the need to try.

"Of course..."

He said as politely as he could, resisting the urge to clobber them all. That would most likely come later.

Miaka was happy that Nuriko was so persitant to go with her but it really mad her angry at the same time. So, she kicked Nuriko as hard as she could and then ran over to the man in black and grabbed him and tried to run away from Nuriko and Tasuki.

"Please sir! Please just ignore them and take me!" she said with a shakey tone. She knew Nuriko was going to kill her. But she also knew she wouldn't be able to bear seeing him get hurt. If they found out that Nuriko and Tasuki were Suzaku Seishi they'd possiably kill them. She wouldn't forgive herself if that happened. So she ran off with the man.

"They can always get a new miko, but not a new seishi...so if anything happens to me, it's not that bad..." she thought to herself.

"Miaka you baka," Tasuki muttered to himself, it was so tempting to lose the pathetic disguise but she was trying to protect their identity. 'Well if she does run for it I'll chase her, I can run three times faster than anyone else after all, it's my gift.'

(( xp I have to start reading more carefully! xp ))


Soi didn't flinch as the familiar voice cut into her conversation.

"Is this any kind of a welcome?" she asked without facing the the gentle twin, "I've come back to find a Byakko seishi running amuck in the Kutou palace, it's enough to make anyone a bit curious. Besides, why do you assume I'll attack her? I've been much too bored recently to go kill off any possible source of entertainment..." she mused softly.

Miaka blinked at the man's reaction. She got alittle poed because no one would listen to her. So she stomped her foot down and screamed.

"A person who is acutally WILLING to be taken in and you ignore them! Leave these two weird looking women alone and just take me! I'm the miko! You hear me?!" she took out a megaphone and screamed into it, "I'M THE SUZAKU NO MIKO HEAR ME ROAR!!!!!!" and hoped all around in chibi form.

"Besides..." she said returning back to "normal" miaka and brushing her hair behind her ear, "How are you gonna explain the likes of these two? They have nothing to do with me. They took care of me but have no use to the Konan empire." she whispered into the mans ear, "They weren't too good looking so thats why they got kicked out of the emperors women holder thing" and then nodded.

She kept on trying to convince the man with different tatics and then finally brought out the puppy eyes, "Pwease..."

*The man stopped*

"Young lady...I am not ignoring you...But neither will I ignore my orders. I will be in a LOT of trouble If I do not arrive at the palace with the whole lot of you. I am simply...*ahem*...following orders. You wouldn't want to be responsible for my punishment should I disobey them now would you? Now please..keep your voice down, stop drawing more attention to us..and come with me."

*He glanced back at all of them and began moving again, thinking to himself*

'This girl is going to be a lot more trouble than she could possibly be worth...'

[Amiboshi]

The Boshi twin simply raised a brow in response to her question; he could have been openly rude but decided against it and attempted a more subtle, but not entirely subtle approach. "Soi, she insulted your 'master' - I sincerely doubt you will let that slide that easily will you?" He murmured and then turned his gaze upon the woman or where he thought the woman was however in the time in which he had taken to interrupt the conversation between the pair Subaru had vanished...yet he could still sense her for some strange reason.

Twirling his flute within his fingertips he pursed his lips and glanced around the garden, there was no way she could have escaped as both would have seen her walk passed them! In ways, he should have been irritated but he couldn't help but grin at the skill of the caster, he had to admire her in that respect.

[Subaru]

Subaru hadn't actually vanished - rather she had increased the veil of her bubble and had been clouded beneath it as it mimicked the garden around her. She continued to sit in her place by the fountain despite appearing to be elsewhere - she was of course hoping that they would move in another direction but if they were continuing to sense her presence due to her magic then she would have to split her presence apart.

Taking a quiet breath, she closed her eyes and projected an image of herself directly into the corridor behind her - it was dressed exactly like her, walked in the same manner and sounded the same...the only difference was that it had but one purpose and that was to out run her opponents.

The peculiar projection not only took on her form but actually pulsed with her magic, the symbol of unity glowing beneath her robes as if she were preparing to fire - this she hoped would be enough to distract them...if not, she could always destroy the roof above them even with Nakago's sudden attention upon her.

Soi was about to retort something about not having masters when Subaru made her move. The crimson haired seishi grinned a bit ferally.

"I was wondering when we would get to play," she murmured at the apparition, but Soi was no fool. The lightning seishi could still feel the friction of forces between the Byakko and Seiryu around the fountain, especially when Nakago decided to add a bit of pressure to the spell caster.

Soi discarded her cloak and snapped her fingers producing enough charge to properly singe cloth. She cupped her palm around the diminutive orb of crackling energy letting it grow to the size of an orange before it sped towards the wraith in the corridor.
